Danish woman gangrape: Court to hear final arguments on May 4

A Delhi court today fixed May 4 for hearing final arguments in a case of alleged gangrape of a 52-year-old Danish woman by nine persons, including three juveniles, in 2014 here.
The case has been put for the next date as Additional Sessions Judge Ramesh Kumar was on leave today.
The court had earlier dismissed a plea seeking to examine several doctors on the issue of potency of 55-year-old accused Shyam Lal in the case, who had died in jail two months ago.
Proceedings against Lal were abated in the case of gangrape of a 52-year-old Danish woman here in 2014.

According to the prosecution, the nine accused, all vagabonds, had allegedly robbed and gangraped the Danish tourist at knife-point on the night of January 14, 2014, after leading her to a secluded spot close to the Divisional Railway Officers' Club near New Delhi Railway Station.
All nine accused were arrested. The five adult accused - Mahendra alias Ganja (26), Mohd Raja (22), Raju (23), Arjun 21), Raju Chakka (22) - are in judicial custody and facing trial. Lal, who was in judicial custody, died in February.
Three other accused were juveniles against whom inquiry before the Juvenile Justice Board is in progress.

The court had earlier allowed prosecution's plea to place on record the original medical and potency test report of Lal, who had claimed to be impotent, and examine three doctors in this regard.
